So that's a no then. (At least I think it is. After the Da Vinci code, one doesn't like to make assumptions.)

Ah yes. 2 sleeps until the National Novel Writing Month frenzy commences and I'm still seesawing between plot ideas. Do I want to start a brand new concept? Do I want to rewrite an old project from scratch thus becoming a NaNo Rebel? Do I want to continue something I started before thus invoking the Zokutou clause?

I just have to make a decision. And being a Myers Briggs "P" type this isn't easy for me. "P" stands for "Perceiving". For some reason, this can be loosely translated into "Last Minute Merchant Who Is Only At Their Best When Faced With An Insurmountable Deadline."

"P" for Pantser, in other words.

But no. I shall not give in to the unwieldy lure of pantsing and pottering through November.

I have 2 days. That's enough to come up with a plot - right? RIGHT?

So whether I'm a NaNo-Rebel (sounds like Star Wars, cool), a Zokutou-ist (sounds like a spiritual guru, cool) or a NaNoWriMo-er (the ultimate prize), I am DOING THIS THING.

Without Ruth's consummate wisdom and scattering of wonderful posts...we'd probably all be a bit lost! I've stuck with bullet point lists and a few inspired interviews with my characters (which I think I found on your blog a while ago Meg!) and I have a fair idea of where I'm going. So now it's just about pulling it all together...oh, and writing, lots.Enjoy it Meg, Sophie and Ruth!
